I was commissioned by Neiman Marcus to create the artwork and design for another exclusive snow globe for their annual Christmas Book. This is the third snow globe I have been honored to design for them. It's always so exciting to see the finished product come to fruition from the beginning stages of rough pencil sketches, to final color artwork, and then the finished design from one year ago from when I first start designing them .

This years theme was to use rich jewel toned metallic colors, and they wanted to have their iconic signature butterfly featured in the design. I have them swirling around a small christmas tree inside the glass globe. And for the base I came up with a unique shape and had larger ones perched around a base of layered magnolia leaves. The result was a non traditional snow globe that you can leave out and enjoy all year long.

It's always a blast to design these. And I'm happy to announce I was commissioned a 4th time and already finished next year's snow globe! it's already in production and will be available early september next year, and I can share images of it at that time.
